Tax Advisory/Corporate Tax

Corporate Tax

The UAE Corporate Tax regime has introduced a new era of regulatory and tax compliance requirements for businesses operating in the UAE. Organizations are now required to adopt stronger financial controls, maintain robust documentation, and implement proactive tax planning strategies.

Our services begin with Corporate Tax registration and FTA compliance support, including EmaraTax registration, tax obligation assessments, and regulatory guidance. We provide strategic Corporate Tax advisory and planning to help businesses assess tax exposure, optimize structures, and evaluate the tax implications of key transactions and commercial decisions.

KSG also offers end-to-end Corporate Tax return preparation and filing services, including taxable income computation, tax adjustments, and submission support. For Free Zone entities, we provide specialized advisory on Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) requirements and qualifying income assessments.

Our Corporate Tax Health Check services help businesses identify compliance gaps, strengthen internal controls, and improve tax readiness. In addition, we support Transfer Pricing compliance through related party transaction reviews, benchmarking, and documentation assistance.

We also provide Corporate Tax audit support and tax dispute assistance, along with accounting and bookkeeping support to maintain accurate, tax-ready financial records.

Our services are tailored for mainland companies, Free Zone entities, family-owned businesses, SMEs, and multinational groups seeking practical, technically sound, and commercially focused tax solutions.
